Candles are useful parts of any survival kit. They can be used for light, heat, cooking, and as a flame extender for fire starting. EXOTAC’s new candleTIN Nano is easy to add to any kit thanks to it’s compact size and lightweight (less than 1 ounce). In spite of the small size, these little guys will still burn for 4 hours.
In my experience, EXOTAC’s candleTINs meet their claimed burn times and are of very high quality. These are sold in packs of 3.
I don’t do a lot of deal spotting on this site but this is too good to go unmentioned. Squirrel Daddy has their Lower Vise Blocks on sale for just $5.99. These are machined from a solid block of HDPE and can be inserted from the top or bottom depending on what part of your lower you need to work on.
I ordered one along with some of their other armorer’s tools and it shipped fast and free. I have wanted a lower vise block for years and I just couldn’t pass at this price.
Minuteman Watches and Pro-Tech Knives have collaborated on a special version of the TR4 Manual Knife (a manual version of the TR4 automatic). The TR4 is a great knife in both manual and automatic form. This particular TR4 has several special touches that set it apart like an individual serial number (only 40 made), a special Minuteman engraved pocket clip, a DLC coated blade, and a custom lanyard. Just like the watches that Minuteman sells, 25% of the profits from this knife will go to veteran’s charities.

CZ USA has announced that they will be making their CZ 527 7.62×39 actions available for purchase separately. This will allow shooters to build their own custom 6.5 Grendel chambered rifle on the proven “micro Mauser” actions. The potential for such an action to be built into a light precision or hunting rifle is off the charts.
These are not available on the CZ-USA website. Email kipp@cz-usa.com if you are interested.
Mil-Spec Monkey is still hard at work testing the various shades of grey in an attempt to identify the most versatile Urban Grey. In the most recent round of testing he moves past 2 dimensional color samples and into 3 dimensional, real-world objects. If nothing else, this sort of testing highlights the difficulty in selecting a single shade to match as many background as possible. Check out the Monkey’s efforts at Mil-Spec Monkey.
